The Divine Beauty of Pearl Jewellery
A pearl, referred to as the ‘Queen of gems’ or ‘Tear of the sea’ has always been a favourite with those with a classic taste in gems and jewellery. Pearls are considered as a symbol of beauty and elegance and are used extensively in crafting elegant pearl jewellery pieces. Pearl is also considered as a symbol of purity and innocence throughout the world; it is believed that no two pearls are alike. This precious gem is used to design a variety of jewellery pieces such as pearl necklaces, rings, earrings and bangles etc.
Pearl jewellery is made from two types of pearls – fresh water pearls and sea pearls. These varieties are available in various shapes and colours, which make them ideal for the use of crafting beautiful jewellery. The uniqueness and beauty of pearl jewellery make it a prized possession for those who wear it. In fact, pearl jewellery is timeless and can be used by women of all ages. Needless to mention, these ageless pieces of jewellery also make for special gift items to those you love and care for.
Pearl jewellery is known to be fancied by the English royalty too! Queen Elizabeth I had an enviable collection of pearls, Queen Elizabeth II wore pearls on her wedding day and Princess Diana was also known for her fondness for these pristine gems. The sheer beauty of pearls made them most desirable by renowned Hollywood stars too. In fact, ‘Hollywood royalty’ Elizabeth Taylor owned one of the most spectacular pieces of pearl jewellery known as ‘La Perigrina’.
Gifting pearl jewellery made from pure white pearls to a newly married couple is believed to bring happiness and peace in their conjugal life. White pearls are loved by women due to their special lustre and perfection. However, the use of black pearls or those with a little darker colour is also becoming popular with jewellery designers all across the world. Pearls, whether black or white, can be used to design exquisite Pearl Necklaces that adorn those who wear them. They never go out of fashion and help the wearer make a distinct style statement. Pearl jewellery is much preferred as bridal or wedding jewellery too. Plus, they are much more affordable than diamonds and other precious gems.
So now that you know how exquisite this ‘Queen of Gems’ is, do not think twice before buying a string of pearls for yourself or a special someone – for any occasion or for none at all!
